What kinds of conditions can you treat with acute care?

Direct Wellness Primary Care addresses a wide range of acute issues. Some of the most common visits include:

• Respiratory infections like colds, flu, strep throat, and bronchitis
• Ear, sinus, or eye infections that cause pain and pressure
• Sprains, strains, and minor injuries
• Rashes, insect bites, or mild allergic reactions
• Headaches, migraines, or fevers that keep you from functioning normally

Acute care is ideal for short-term, nonemergency issues.

How quickly can I be seen for acute care?

One of the most frustrating parts of traditional healthcare is waiting for an appointment, a diagnosis, and a care plan. At Direct Wellness Primary Care, the membership model eliminates that hassle. Because it’s a membership-based clinic, you won’t get stuck in crowded waiting rooms or deal with rushed visits. 

You’ll have access to:

• Same-day or next-day appointments for acute concerns
• Direct communication with Grace by phone, text, or through the private portal
• Extended, unhurried visits that allow us to focus on your needs

This means you receive timely care from a knowledgeable provider who is familiar with your health history and takes the time to understand your health concerns, as well as answer all your questions.

How is acute care different from urgent care?

Urgent care clinics work fast to treat symptoms on the surface and move on to the next patient. At Direct Wellness Primary Care, Grace takes a root-cause, whole-person, evidence-based approach. In addition to helping you feel better quickly, she also investigates the reason for your illness or injury.

For true emergencies like chest pain, severe bleeding, or stroke symptoms, the ER is the right place to go. For almost everything else, make Direct Wellness Primary Care your first call.

What does acute care cost?

At Direct Wellness Primary Care, acute care is included in your membership. You pay a flat monthly fee, which includes acute care, preventive care, primary care, chronic disease management, testing and screenings, telehealth, and ongoing support. 

There are no surprise bills or hidden fees. Best of all, you can cancel anytime if your needs change. With affordable monthly fees, evidence-based medicine, and personalized attention, you’ll always know where to go when an acute issue arises.
